This boutique modern Inn offers unique air-conditioned rooms with free WiF, Free parking, EV Charging and Free Bikes. Solvang town center is just a few blocks away from New Haven Inn.

Equipped with air conditioning, select rooms and suites at New Haven Inn may include patios with fire pits, double walk-in tiled showers or vaulted ceilings with chandeliers. All of the rooms feature flat-screen cable TVs and a coffee machine. It was a disappointing place to stay for one night. It was so clean and all the facilities were clean. I regretted the three days I had stayed in Morro Bay before.

Surrounded by a forest, Rush Creek Lodge at Yosemite features a heated outdoor pool, and children's playground. The accommodation features two hot tubs. Yosemite's Highway 120 West entrance is 0.8 km away. We were delighted with this place! The two bedroom villa with balcony suited our fam of four perfectly. Only one bathroom but we managed with our two teenage girls. Balcony with two rocking chairs getting the late afternoon sun after a beautiful long day hiking at the Park was idyllic, the pool, the hot tubs, roasting marshmallows and the smore kits they provide at the fire pits, great drinks at the bar, comfortable and relaxed and generous atmosphere - there are games and books for kids and grownups in the rooms, no tvs and good WiFi which is essential as there is very poor or no phone reception- comfortable beds, spacious, in mid-April it’s got a fair number of families but apparently still pretty calm compared to high season in summer - so there is a nice friendly community feeling but also plenty of privacy - we don’t want to leave!
